Is THERE ANY H0PEp
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF
PULMONARY EXPERTS.
Can tho Universal Consumption be
Successfully Treatedl

DR.. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has q
new treatment for consumption
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas
carrying the former into every part Of the throat
and lungs.
This treatment. too, is directed at effects-the
| cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated by perhaps
the highest pulmonary authority in the world
| !. e., the Brompton Hospital for Consumptives
in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries off from one
England!
DIR. Payne, NJ. d.. NJ. R. G. P, London, Is
authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion Of deaths
obtains in America
DIR. Payne also says that one-half the total
! number of deaths from all other causes have
seeds of this disease in the system which only
require some irritant to Develop
DIR. Hermann Brehmer an eminent German
authority, says that consumption is caused by
deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed The
medical world recognizes them. The uric acid
| IS the irritant in the blood that causes the
development of the seeds which DIR. Brehmer
says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes through
the lungs and heart also goes through the kid
neys, and if they are in the least deranged they
cannot rid the blood of its killing poison The
thousand little hair-like sewer tubes of the
kidneys very easily get blocked up and dis
eased; and when they do, they corrupt instead
OF purifying the blood. Kidney disease may
exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, be-
cause it is deficient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and it soon
testers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned
blood through the lungs every second, and they
soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation showed
that % per cent. of the victims of consumption
were afflicted with deranged kidneys, which
permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the
blood and irritate the lungs. This uric acid is
always fighting every vital organ, and if there
be any inherent weakness in the lungs it ineyi-
tably causes pneumonia, cough and consump-
tion.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles being
so authoritatively shown to be faulty even
though unsuspected action of the kidneys, ex-
plains why, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the blood of the
uric acid irritant which infames and burns up
the lung substance. For this purpose there is
nothing equal to that great specific, Warmers
safe cure. This remedy has now the favor of
medical men all over the world purely on its
merits. We have no doubt that if the kidneys
are kept in natural action, consumption and a
great many other diseases, caused by uric acid,
Will HOt OHIy DC CurcU DuJ Will DC prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no aIbumen
appears in the water, but albumen is found in
the water of more than half of those who die
of consumption
This, then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weakened
kidneys; second, retained uric acid, poisoning
the blood; third, the development of disease in
the lungs by the irritant acids passing through
them. Then there is a little cough in the
morning; soon thick yellow matter is spit up,
followed by loss of flesh and strength, with
dreadful night sweats; and when the patient
goes to his school physician for help, he is put
on cod liver oil, which his stomach, weakened
also by uric acid in the blood cannot digest.
Because there is no pain present in the kidneys,
the patient does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and by
and-by the disease Of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hemorrhages,
and at last the CLASSY stare which denotes that
the end is near
A post-mortem examination of such cases
shows that the terrible uric acid has completely
destroyed the substance of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease when
the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
